Sabrina Carpenter’s new album ‘Short N’ Sweet’ is officially certified platinum.
The pop star dropped her sixth record over the summer, featuring popular singles ‘Espresso’ and ‘Please Please Please’.
As of Friday (September 27), the singer’s latest album was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America, meaning the record has sold more than one million units.
This also makes ‘Short N’ Sweet’ her first album to reach the milestone, according to the RIAA’s records.
The ‘Nonsense’ singer previously achieved platinum with her singles ‘Please Please Please’, ‘Espresso’, ‘Feather’, ‘Nonsense’ and ‘Thumbs’ while her 2022 album ‘Emails I Can’t Send’ went platinum in March of this year.
‘Short n’ Sweet’ debuted at Number One on the Billboard 200 chart when it came out in August, and remained at the top spot for three consecutive weeks – making it her first chart-topping record.
She also landed Number One in the UK, becoming the the first female artist in history to secure both the Number One album and single (with ‘Taste’) simultaneously, according to Official Charts. As of this week, ‘Taste’ had spent a fifth consecutive week at Number One.
Reacting to her first US Number One earlier this month, Carpenter wrote on Instagram: “Can’t express my gratitude. My first #1 album!!!! Thank you for listening to short n’ sweet. thank you for believing in me all these years! couldn’t do any of this without you :’) this feels really special. love you all.”
In a four-star review of ‘Short n’ Sweet’, NME wrote: “Full creative control looks good on the pop star, who swings for the big leagues on her sharp and saucy sixth record.”
It added that “who Sabrina Carpenter is has never been clearer – and her long-awaited, hard-earned climb to pop’s summit should continue with ease”.
The pop singer kicked off her world tour in support of the new album this month, where she scrapped her customised ‘Nonsense’ outros but promised a surprise cover during each night of the current North American leg.
Meanwhile, fans think Carpenter and BLACKPINK’s Lisa might be teasing an upcoming collaboration.
